Beginner training plan
Your first lessonI focus on making the student feel safe, seen, and excited. I learn who they are, what draws them to music, and what their goals are — even if they don’t fully know yet. Then we walk through the basics slowly and clearly: posture, how to hold the instrument, how to relax the hands, and how to produce their first clean notes. By the end of the first lesson, they will play something simple but real, so they leave feeling proud and believing, “I can do this.
Lesson 2-3These lessons build rhythm, confidence, and control. I start introducing short drills that train coordination without overwhelming them. They begin to understand timing, how their fingers should move, and how practice actually works. Every exercise has a purpose and every small win gets acknowledged. By lesson three, they start to feel the instrument becoming familiar — like it’s something they can actually grow with.
Lesson 4-10This is where real momentum happens. The student starts connecting the dots: technique → sound → music. I introduce beginner-level songs that match their interests and reinforce the fundamentals we’ve built. We refine tone, rhythm, accuracy, and build consistent practice habits. I keep the energy positive and structured; we celebrate progress while continuing to raise the bar. By lesson ten, they’ve developed enough skill to feel like they’re actually playing, not just learning.
Lesson 11+Past lesson ten, the student has a solid foundation and we begin shaping their musical identity. I tailor lessons to their strengths, tastes, and long-term goals. We explore more expressive playing, beginner-intermediate songs, and new techniques that deepen their sound. At this stage, students start discovering what kind of musician they want to become — and I guide them with structure, clarity, and patience. The training becomes personal, meaningful, and motivating.
